Wow,that looks brilliant..it's about time clubs stopped treating fans(who shell out a fortune each match day for the privilege) as cattle... A massive step forward.

A massive step forward. I agree. Some of the concourse at West Ham is similar, but it's only because it was built for athletics. I can't understand it really, as clubs would make more money if the concourse areas were a bit more hospitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 These proposals for the east stand will improve the concorse experience pre and post match. I assume anyone in the ground will be able to use them pre match. So we do look like we’re at least trying to address the situation. Who knows? If we cement a Prem place they might even give the south stand concorse a bit of a make over. But East stand first, that’s where the real fans sit.

Mucker1884 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I sometimes wonder if some of our epoxy fans think personal comfort and fancy prancy cocktail lounges mean mortar them than the quality of the football! If this carries on, on here, I seriously think I'll throw in the trowel! All we need is somewhere simple to get plastered, and bond with our mates. TUT!

Thats the point isn't it. other sports, other venues, its normal to have much better facilities. but football....i accept that the beer throwing numpties can have a prison interior, but why not something better and less cramped for the rest.

I don't drink at all*, but then that doesn't quite work so well in an otherwise fantastic pun-fest! ;-) EDIT: *At the football, that is. I'm not quite teetotal, but I haven't been plastered since the '80's, and probably now average 3 units a month... double that if on holiday! LOL!

Dcfcjames Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 when you nip for a quick toilet break during the match and you see people watching the game on the tv in the concourse with a pint downstairs ? never understood that ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Gnarly Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Out of curiosity, is The Yard a decent pub? Always question it as I walk by and would like to try it at some point. Just wanted to get a feeling of what the others on here though about it? Looks well kept and never heard any trouble in or around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I’ve seen them too on the very odd occasion I’ve had to check my bike tyre pressure during the match. Its odd when you see it, but you’re correct, it’s up to them.
